Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.2.1

AVŚ 4.2.1

य आत्मदा बलदा यस्य विश्व उपासते प्रशिषं यस्य देवाः । यो ऽस्येशे द्विपदो यश् चतुष्पदः कस्मै देवाय हविषा विधेम ॥१॥

ya ātmadā baladā yasya viśva upāsate praśiṣaṃ yasya devāḥ | yo 'syeśe dvipado yaś catuṣpadaḥ kasmai devāya haviṣā vidhema ||1||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

He who is soul-giving, strength-giving; of whom all, of whom [even] the gods, wait upon the instruction; who is lord (īç) of these bipeds, who of quadrupeds—to what god may we pay worship (vidh) with oblation?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
